It’s not often that I do anything spontaneous – you can ask anyone who knows me. So when I decided on Thursday afternoon to pay $100 to enter the National Handicapping Championship (NHC) Tour for a qualifying tournament starting Friday, it even surprised me.
Partly my decision was due to Tom Atwater’s recent success in qualifying for a seat in Vegas at the NHC Tour championship in January 2011. His blogs on this site about using Associative Remove Viewing (ARV) and logical handicapping were inspiring! Plus, I’d already decided to do the free Public Handicapper (PH) contest – four races per week – and those races were part of the second online NHC Tour tournament.
So I gave myself a new game name — StarGirl — and put my money where my mind is, because for me it’s all about ARV. The end result? I ranked 23rd out of 822 participants! Things started going my way in the last three races when I decided to act on a hunch. If only I’d changed my strategy sooner!
Before the contest began, I used ARV to choose three horses for each of the 10 races. The “win” horse had my highest Targ confidence ranking (CR), with the next-highest scores designating the place and show horses. (The PH contest requires you to list three horses in case of scratches since you can’t make any changes after you place your entry.)
My first viewing was for the Kentucky Derby at 10:27 a.m. on Thursday, soon after the race was posted on PRECOG10. I did sessions between 7-11:58 p.m. on Thursday for Friday’s five races. Here’s what happened at Friday’s races:
First race: my place horse, Elusive Jozi, showed
Second race: my place horse, Silver Timber, won, and my show horse, Chamberlain Bridge, placed
Third race: no winners
Fourth race: my win horse, Flying Private, placed, and my place horse, Enriched, showed
Fifth race: my place horse, Evening Jewel, placed
All fine and good, but only wins count in the NHC Tour and PH contests. I’d seen similar success with place and show horses on my two trips to Oaklawn this season, but there I also had a couple of first-place wins each day, too. What was going on?
Between Friday’s races, I did viewings from 1:34-4:04 p.m. for Saturday’s four remaining races. The day started with a muddy track at Churchill Downs and lots of horses scratched, including the horse I picked for place. The only change I made to my original picks was to add my fourth-ranked horse as my show selection for the sixth NHC Tour race.
Sixth race: no winners
Seventh race: my place horse, Mona de Momma, won
With no winners and three races to go, I was desperate. So I changed my strategy and decided to “bet” my place horse to win for the last three races.
Eighth race: my place horse, Atta Boy Roy, won (I had my first winner!)
Ninth race: my place horse, Court Vision, placed (in the money!)
Tenth race: my place horse, Super Saver, won (I picked the Kentucky Derby winner!)
So what does this mean in terms of ARV? I’ve thought about it a lot, because my intention was to pick the one and only winner of each race. That’s what I always do. Yet I’ve had fewer hits lately, as evidenced by my sad showing in the Derby List Triple Crown contest. Even the three NHC Tour “wins” don’t count as ARV hits because they weren’t my top choice. (Similarly, I scored zero points in the PH contest because I entered my top choices.)
But CLEARLY my subconscious is delivering … there’s just some interference along the way as I learn how to interpret the message. It will be interesting to see if I can take my ARVing to the next level, with three chances left to qualify for a seat at the NHC Tour championship!
Wow! I think thats really god. It must have been quite a bit of fun and exciting too. We got your offer to join you in this endeavor but unpon consideration Dean decided we shouldn’t do it. I was in favour but his reasopn was that we were going to ther lifelines course in a few days and then immediately after taking the two financial courses. My thought was that any practice is good but he is even more metaphysical than I am, if that is at all possible, and had had a bad experience with picking the winners some years ago. He was doing very well and all of a sudden he said somehow it literally blew up in his face. A big psychic shock. He tried to reason what had happened and figured that there was a massive illuminati investment in racing, both psychic, and physical. That they regarded it as their own and had protected it other-dimensionally and until he began to be quite successful (one racing day mind you) they did not detect him. But upon detection took a good hard swipe at him to let him know he was trespassing on private property. Those not in the club are supposed to be contributors not gatherers. That it is a nasty private property world, full of very powerful and nasty people and that they will not tolerate any trespassers. It makes sense to me. A little success is to be expected by them, a random win or even a rare streak, but don’t plan on making a habit of it, they seem to say. So anyway, he didn’t want to chance it for us right now, or any other time I suspect.
I won the derby over here one time and foolishly did not bet the farm on it and I knew I was going to win, too. We were high in the stands and the royal enclosure with the queen and all the ladies in big hats, strawberries and lots of champagne were in the next section, when I saw the horses come out to parade. It has always been my technique to watch this parade and the horse that looks the best….not on logical grounds but somehow just looks like the winner, frisky and beautiful, or sometimes even with a glow, thats the horse I pick, and with a pretty good record. However I only go to the races once in a blue moon so that may be the reason why. However, this one derby day, not having read any handicapping or even knowing who was running never mind who was the favourite, I saw this one horse come out and he was gorgeous! He absolutely radiated and shown with light. I knew he was the winner and ran down the many cement stairs to place my 3 pound bet, yes, 3 pounds, idiot me, and won 60 pounds. What if I’d given the bookie (thats the way they do it here) a twenty or even a hundred!
It happened to me once n vegas too. Not horses but keno. The keno ticket when I looked at it had all the winning numbers already marked. I sort of stood there stunned (probably in another dimension) and then began to mark as fast as i could but they were fading fast. I still won well, though. But if Id been quicker off the mark it could have been spectacular. There have been other horse winners at other times, and an astonishing night at bingo where I just kept on winning every game and took home about $700 bucks and it would have been more if my mother had not kept trying to distract me from hearing the numbers. NONE of these events was ever repeatable, however. And though it may sound like I am always near gambling and gamble alot, it is not true. I about never gamble. Don’t like to. Don’t like to lose money. No fun in it. The fun of the races has nothing to do with gambling, but just the day and the excitement. We had to be in vegas twice this year and neither made a single bet or put a coin in a machine. Might as well flush it down the loo. My beloved deceased husband (who liked to gamble, by the way), and who was PhD theoretical physicist with a 160 IQ used to say you had the same chance of winning the lottery whether you had a ticket or not. That said, one of his favourite jokes was about this guy who never had any money and only interest in life besides the church to which he belonged, was trying to win the lottery. He thought about it night and day. He we went in the church and prayed for it. He begged God to let him win the lottery. And yet he never won. Not even small amounts. And every time when he didn’t win he would go to the church and tell God why didn’t you let me win? I didn’t win again! This went for months and months and then one day in the middle of a rant to God about the unfairness of His lack of help he heard a booming voice…..”FOR GOD”S SAKE DO ME A FAVOUR. BUY A TICKET!!” Love you, hope to see you at one of these courses again soon. we are going to the MC2 course in June or July I believe it is. Will you be there? Lea
Hi, Lea — Great to hear from you! I wish I could say that I’m heading back to the Monroe Institute soon, but that’s not in the plans until next year. I wasn’t sure if you meant you’ll be going to Marty’s Intuitive Investing classes in May. If so, that’s where Mary and I went last May, and it was how I got started in ARV (as I’ve probably told you about a thousand times!). Anyway, I would love to go to Skip Atwater’s Remote Viewing class, so I’m still trying to find a way to do that, and the MC2 looks like a LOT of fun. Both are defnitely on my list. Sadly, off-track betting on horses is illegal here in Missouri (I still need to check that out, but it seems to be), so I don’t do that. I use ARV to play the three-pick lottery sometimes … had one win with two numbers that paid $30 on a 50-cent bet. (You can see that I’m really not a gambler either!) My big love is roulette, which I haven’t tried to use ARV on yet. My latest success was hitting three numbers in a row … what a rush! Again, I’m a big spender, with only $1 bet on each number. Still, getting $105 back on $3 bet isn’t too shabby! Have fun, and hope to see you at the Monroe one of these days soon! — T.W. (Teresa)
How thrillling this is! Thanks for doing and sharing.
Thanks to Tom for starting, facillitating and guiding as he does.

Nice!!!
What an excellent way to adapt yourself, to trust your guidance when it nudged you towards the place horse!
This is what it’s all about for me – not slavishly adhering to what we think is best ahead of time (picking only top Targ ARV horses), but instead going with the flow, allowing yourself to hear that still small voice – and WINNING!!!
Excellent work, Teresa!
It paid off!!!
